Surely not! And yet that productive intimate secrecy is the first to be distorted by power-mongers–especially those who fear women. They envy; they throw us off their scent; they have no such loveliness in their sordid lives. Oh my! How did this sweet, mystical poem lead me into such anger? I who want to preserve the access and right to this freedom most of all? You’ve touched one of my secret buttons.

I agree. We need that mystery, we need those secrets, for without them, everything would be so dull, everything would be soiled by the human touch. And yes, let that “walk through the grapevine” continue. “Surely.”
Very well penned. 🙂
